Solutions
Enterprise, self-hosted
Run ProofScene inside your own environment. Artwork and rendered assets stay on your servers, proof pages carry only your brand, and access sits under the controls your business already answers to.
Deployment
Your servers, your rules, your name on the page
Everything the hosted product does, running where your security team can point at it.
Runs on your infrastructure
ProofScene is deployed inside your environment — your servers, your cloud tenancy, your network boundary — rather than as a service you send artwork out to.
Artwork never leaves
Customer files, rendered models and proof pages stay on storage you control. For NDA packaging, credential programs and defense-adjacent work, that is usually the whole conversation.
No ProofScene branding
Proof pages carry your identity only. Your customers see your company, on your domain, with no third-party name anywhere on the page.
Your access rules
Access sits behind your own network controls and policies rather than a vendor's account system. The platform is designed for enterprise identity integration, including SSO, as that work is completed.
Your retention policy
How long proofs live, where backups go and what gets purged at job closure are decisions your compliance team already has answers for. Self-hosting means those answers apply.
Fits your stack
Designed to sit alongside an existing MIS, prepress workflow and asset store rather than asking you to move any of them.
Why organizations ask for it
Six reasons self-hosting stops being optional
- Data residency
- Contracts and regulation increasingly specify which country customer data may be processed in. Self-hosting makes that a deployment decision instead of a vendor question you cannot answer.
- Confidential artwork
- Unreleased consumer packaging, pharmaceutical labeling, banknote-adjacent security print and identity credentials all come with obligations that make third-party file storage a non-starter.
- Procurement and audit
- Large customers audit their suppliers. "It runs on our own infrastructure, under our own controls" answers most of a security questionnaire before it is asked.
- Brand ownership
- Enterprise print operations do not want a vendor logo on the page their customers approve work through. The proofing experience is part of their service.
- Scale of archive
- Groups running high proof volumes across multiple plants often prefer to keep years of rendered assets on storage they already pay for and already manage.
- Continuity
- A system you host is a system whose availability you control, on the schedule your production planning actually runs to.
Who it suits
Where a self-hosted deployment makes obvious sense
Multi-plant print groups
Several sites, one proofing standard, one set of controls — without artwork crossing an external boundary between them.
Credential and secure print
Identity cards, access credentials and controlled documents, where the artwork itself is sensitive before it is ever manufactured.
Packaging for regulated brands
Converters serving pharmaceutical, food and consumer clients who impose their own data handling requirements down the supply chain.
Being straight about status: ProofScene is pre-launch and opening early access. Enterprise deployments are being scoped with the first group of shops, and SSO is designed for but not yet built. If either is a hard requirement, say so early and we will tell you honestly where it sits.
How the conversation goes
Sizing, not a sales cycle
A self-hosted deployment is a technical conversation before it is a commercial one. What proof volume do you run, across how many sites? What are your turnaround expectations at peak? Where does artwork currently live, and what is your retention obligation once a job closes? Which systems does this need to sit beside — an MIS, a prepress workflow, a DAM, or all three?
Those answers determine the shape of the deployment. We would rather work through them properly with a small number of shops during early access than promise a configuration that has not been built. ProofScene comes out of a working print and card-manufacturing operation, so the constraints you are describing are usually familiar ones.

Self-hosting, answered
What does self-hosted ProofScene mean?
It means ProofScene runs inside your own infrastructure rather than as a hosted service. Artwork, rendered 3D assets and proof pages stay on servers you control, behind your network boundary, under your retention and access policies.
Why would a print business want to self-host a proofing tool?
Usually because of the artwork. Unreleased packaging, regulated labeling and identity credentials come with obligations that make uploading customer files to a third party difficult or contractually impossible. Self-hosting removes that objection entirely.
Does self-hosting remove ProofScene branding?
Yes. Enterprise deployments run without ProofScene branding, so your customers only ever see your company on your domain. If you want to go further and resell the capability under your own product name, see the white-label option.
Does it support SSO?
Not yet — and we would rather say so plainly than imply otherwise. The platform is designed for enterprise identity integration, and SSO is on the roadmap. If it is a requirement for you, tell us during early access so it is scoped against real needs rather than assumptions.
What infrastructure does it need?
A server environment capable of running the rendering workload and serving proof pages, plus storage for artwork and generated assets. Exact requirements depend on proof volume and turnaround expectations, which is a sizing conversation rather than a fixed spec sheet.
Can we integrate it with our MIS or prepress workflow?
It is designed to sit alongside existing systems rather than replace them. Integration scope is part of the early-access conversation — bring the systems you actually run and we will be straight with you about what fits today and what does not.
Is it available now?
ProofScene is opening early access, and enterprise deployments are being scoped with the first group of shops. If self-hosting is a requirement rather than a preference, get on the list early so the deployment is designed with your constraints in mind.
